Laura Prepon

The star of That '70s Show leaves the bell-bottoms and fringe behind for some wild new adventures on the upcoming series Are You There, Chelsea?, which is based on comedian Chelsea Handler's vodka-infused best-seller. Think Chelsea's quick, quippy one-liners shooting fast and furiously out of Donna Pinciotti's mouth. Loves! Plus, Chelsea (the real one) makes a guest appearance as Laura's pregnant sister. Chelsea pregnant?! That alone is reason to watch.

Paula Abdul and Simon Cowell

OK, so it's been only a few years since Paula and Simon shared the judging panel on American Idol, but it's been a few long years. We missed them, so we're thrilled to see them quibbling again on The X Factor. And if their platonic lip locks are any indication, they seem happy to be together again too.

Sarah Michelle Gellar

Once a badass, always a badass—at least that's the case when it comes to the Buffy the Vampire Slayer alum who has returned to TV on the soapy drama Ringer, in which she plays identical twins with major problems. And while guns and jewels abound, there's not a wooden stake in sight…yet.

Maya Rudolph, Christina Applegate and Will Arnett

Post-Saturday Night Live, Samantha Who? and Arrested Development, this new Up All Night trio makes Wednesday our favorite day of the week with 30 minutes of laugh-out-loud moments that leave us quoting Maya Rudolph, the divalicious Oprah-type, left and right. We certainly plan to "keep watching and growing!"

Ashton Kutcher

Personal drama aside, Ashton's not having a bad year. The five-year gap between That '70s Show and Two and a Half Men was worth it. Ashton is now the highest-paid actor on TV, making a reported $700,000 per episode. Gulp! But as we know from Charlie Sheen, money doesn't always buy happiness.

Tia and Tamera Mowry

Just hearing the twins' names makes you hum the Sister, Sister theme song, doesn't it? "I got my own mind, I do my own style in my own time…" Well, Tia and Tamera are back with a reality show on the Style Network. Instead of middle-school drama, this time around, they're sticking together through wedding bells and a baby. Good stuff, though we can't help but miss those wacky vests.

Ginnifer Goodwin

Although she's no longer the newbie in a polygamous family on Big Love, Ginnifer's still caught in the middle of a complicated love story on Once Upon a Time. Luckily for her, in this iteration, Prince Charming is involved. A real Prince Charming. We're rooting for a happily-ever-after ending.

Claire Danes

No matter how many other TV or movie roles she lands, we will forever think of Claire Danes as Angela Chase from My So-Called Life. Between the cozy plaid flannels, rebel red hair, Ricky's eyeliner and the flawless Jordan Catalano, that show was perfection. And even though we clearly yearn for the MSCL Claire, the Homeland Claire isn't too shabby.

James Van Der Beek

Dawson returns as the best bud in* Don't Trust the B---- in Apartment 23*, playing—get this—James Van Der Beek. With that comes the sweet tune of Paula Cole's I Don't Want to Wait any time he enters a frame and James getting his way with the women with just a cute smile.

Scott Foley

Speaking of sweet WB memories, Felicity fans who were on Team Noel, rejoice! Scott has returned to the small screen, only this time he's replaced Dean & Deluca espresso with the cheap beer from Merlotte's Bar and Grill on True Blood. We'll drink to that!

Connie Britton

She's gone from a loving and supportive wife on Friday Night Lights—we swoon for Coach Taylor—to a stressed and miserable one on American Horror Story. Not only has Connie's character, Vivien, discovered that her beautiful new dream house is haunted, she's also been impregnated by an evil spirit. And as hunky as her husband might be (he's played by the easy-on-the-eyes Dylan McDermott), you don't cheat on Coach's wife. You just don't.

Carson Daly

OK, so Carson didn't really go away—he's been hosting his late-night show since 2002—but it's great to see the former TRL VJ in the prime-time lineup as host of The Voice. We watched him grow up (remember the black nail polish and brief engagement to Tara Reid?), so now that he's come into his own, he appears weirdly sophisticated alongside Christina Aguilera, Adam Levine and the gang.

Rachel Bilson

Even though she'll forever be remembered as Summer Roberts on The O.C. (who can forget that pseudo Spider-Man kiss with scrumptious Seth Cohen?), Rachel ditches her Orange County roots and heads south (and, uh, east) to play a doctor on the CW's Hart of Dixie.

Kristen Bell

Veronica Mars (and the voice of Gossip Girl) is Jeannie in House of Lies, playing the sole lady in a group of corrupt consultants on this upcoming Showtime series. Oh, and if the star-studded cast (which includes Don Cheadle and Ben Schwartz, a.k.a. Jean-Ralphio on Parks and Recreation) isn't enough to get you hooked, their tag line will be: "Big fish. Big pond. Big cojones."
